Helping Solopreneurs Grow Their Businesses

Ross Brand with your Livestream Universe Update for Monday, September 17th, 2018.

Solopreneurs face unique challenges that arise, in part, from spending so much time working alone. The events and conferences they attend have them doing more listening than sharing ideas and taking action. Coach Jennie — along with her partners Annie P Ruggles, Tamsen Horton, Carrie Smith Nicholson and Jenn Vasquez — are hosting Brilliance & Badassery October 21-22 in Chicago to provide a different experience for solopreneurs.

On LivestreamDeals, Coach Jennie talked about the upcoming event.

Jennie says the exchanges between attendees will help them avoid the mistakes made by other solopreneurs.

You can learn more about Brilliance & Badassery at LivestreamDeals.com. Tell them ROSS sent you when you purchase your ticket.
